I'm coming over from the UK with a friend. We thought it would be pretty cool to play a game of cricket on the playa. Not a long one obviously, but definitely with full kit, umpires and definitely definitely with English tea and scones afterwards.

wow! I wish I'd seen this post a month ago.
manners, did you manage to get a game together??

My friends and I wanted to organise a game too. I spent 3 hours one morning explaining some of the rules of cricket to a fellow burner... during which time we realised that the word "wicket" is a tad over-used (there are at least 3 distinct meanings I can think of!)

I would love to do this next year in all its surreal silliness - whites, umpires, tea-breaks and of course, streakers!

manners....hidive here...got all the pics from the game on picasa...search for "burning man cricket 2007"...have you seen the book..."when penguins stopped play"?...or something like that...i'm about to start it...i think our effort deserves to go down in history....8 balls bowled...batting team 2/10...it was all set up....LOL!!!!!
